LOL at the end!! Ohh but we are SO glad you DID post this! What a great video, definitely sharing it on the forum I moderate (christianfamilyplanning.net) as well as to a soon-to-be mommy who really wants to breastfeed!

This is so sweet. Its great to see you in person again, even if long distance. i also cant help but notice that in my 4 hospital born babies, the lactation consultants were alwasy very into my baby having tons of upper areola in their mouths. hmmm. Lame.

anyways, super cute baby Dio super helpful, really liked this! (Maybe I should post one with 2 old kids fighting over who can see the TV when tandem nursing!!! LOL! Wish I was kidding!

Great post. I am awaiting my first born - any day now (8 days overdue!!) and can't wait to breast feed. It's great to see on video what books and antenatal classes can only describe with pictures, words and toys. Thanks for sharing this.

I'm a mama that has already nursed two little ones with very minimal trouble, but that video had some great pointers for me. I will have to make sure and review it again in a couple months, when my third is about to come too!

Thanks for sharing; I think it's so important for breastfeeding mamas to support one another and talk about breastfeeding! That was a good latch. :) Do you think it was a little shallow though? It looked like there was dimpling in his cheek, but it's hard to tell with the light.

Yeah, he does have a dimple, but it's a real dimple (not just one from a shallow latch). I remember that my midwife (who is an IBCLC) commented on his dimple and said that in his case, his latch was great. Good observation, though.

Dio's latch and suck was way more efficient that Zari's ever was. He almost always only nursed on one side at a time, and was done much more quickly, whereas Zari always took both sides and took about 45 minutes per nursing session. I also got tons of plugged ducts with Zari, whereas I had none with Dio. So interesting to see how much different depends on the baby!
